A system, for example, a multi-tenant system performs upgrades of database management systems deployed on a cloud platform. The database management system is stored on the cloud platform in a data storage unit for storing data of the database, and an instructions storage unit for storing executable instructions. A cloud platform image comprising instructions for the database management system is received. A cloud platform image is deployed on a new instructions storage unit. An upgraded database management system is built by providing the new instructions storage unit with access to the data storage unit. In an embodiment, the database management system is used by a multi-tenant system and stores a multi-tenant schema. The structure of the multi-tenant schema is defined using a multi-tenant schema template that is included in the instructions storage unit.

Upgrading a database management system deployed in a cloud platform

Methods, computer readable media, and devices for dynamically finding database nodes and replication state within a database cluster deployed within a cloud environment are provided. A method may include receiving a database cluster request from a client, retrieving a set of database cluster metadata, establishing a connection with at least one database node of a database cluster via which a status of the database node may be requested and received, and sending the set of database cluster metadata and the status of the database node to the client. In various implementations, the database cluster request may include an identifier for the database cluster, the database cluster may include a plurality of database nodes, and the database cluster may be deployed within a cloud environment.
